Additional info: CD58 (LFA-3) is an immunoglobulin family adhession molecule expressed by both hematopoietic and non-hematopoietic cells (often on antigen presenting cells) and serving as ligand of CD2. This interaction is important for T cell-mediated immunity. CD58 is expressed in transmembrane form and in GPI-anchored form; the later is constitutively associated with protein kinases whereas the transmembrane form activates kinase activity upon triggering. CD58 is a powerful tool for detection of minimal residual disease in acute lymphocytic leukemia, and for evaluation of liver damage related with hepatitis B.SpecificityThe mouse monoclonal antibody VIPL2 recognizes an extracellular epitope of CD61, a 90-110 kDa transmembrane glycoprotein of integrin family, expressed on platelets, megacaryocytes, osteoclasts, endothelial cells and other cell types, including leucocytes and smooth muscle cells.Application detailsFlow cytometry: Recommended dilution: 1-4 µg/ml. Cold-induced transient opalescent turbidity may appear during the storage at 2 - 8°C. Bring the antibody to room temperature until the turbidity disappears, and mix well before the use.
